It looks very nice, but the video quality isn't top notch, so I can't really say. btw.... Is your friend named Brian or Brain.... like the mouse in "Pinky and the Brain"... lol.

Need better quality to judge paint... Can't tell anything with that the video is low quality, and its dark + dark paint color = endless black hole lol!

Default Paint job done(with better pics)

ok so as most of u guys know i did the paint job with my buddy brain(he painted cars for 35 years of his life). so we painted the stang a couple of days ago. couldent take pics b/c of the bad weather. so here they are. would i do this again NO! took me 100+ hrs of work/prep but i do like the results he can paint cars. the only thing i did was Prime and block b/c i had to go to the ER with my wife. he finished the car up while i was the hosipital. so tell me what u guys think. and i have to buy a new hood buy the way. friend decided not to latch the pins and ya u can fill in the rest.
